Green bean, steak and walnut salad
A lovely salad of barely-cooked beans, slithers of steak, crunchy walnuts and pungent blue cheese. This recipe can work as a side or a main and takes less than 15 minutes to make. Dry roast the walnuts for a couple of minutes for an even tastier finish.

- 25g walnuts, chopped
- zest and juice 1 lemon
